The Lidl Green Fund

/

The Lidl Green Fund is a new community sustainability initiative from Lidl Ireland. The Green Fund aims to support, promote and empower environmentally conscious and healthy local community projects across the Republic of Ireland. At Lidl, we have created the €100,000 fund to support communities take an active role in championing sustainable living.

We are proud to support local charities and community groups who promote social inclusion, health and wellbeing and environmental programmes. Where a local community group is hosting a community event or fundraiser which mirrors our values and pillars, we are happy to provide Lidl vouchers to support. These vouchers can be used by community groups and charities across the country for raffles, bake-sales, school healthy eating weeks, science projects and sports programmes. Please request a community request form from your local store.
